Bright Day Graphene AB is a Swedish start-up that has developed a production method for making reduced graphene oxide from lignin, a residual product from the paper and pulp industry. This gives a graphene material that is biobased and with features that is optimised for energy storage (conductive additive in batteries). Other applications such as additives in biobased adhesives, printed barriers, antifouling surfaces and more has successfully been tested. In this talk I will tell you more about our material and the road ahead towards scaling-up  industrialization being a part of a so called Green Industrial Symbiosis.

Delivering graphene-based electronic devices commercially at scale

Arguably the biggest challenge for graphene electronics is how to make it at scale. Paragraf is the first company in the world to produce graphene-based electronic devices using standard semiconductor processes by depositing graphene directly onto target substrates. The result is wafer scale, low defect level, contamination free, monolayer graphene suitable for electronic applications. This talk will go through the work involved in developing Paragraf’s graphene-based devices and provide an overview of their state-of-the-art products for sensing applications.

GRAPHENE: FROM GALILEI TO NEW BLUE ECONOMY

Winning the challenge of sustainability is crucial for society and in particular realities with a large environmental, social and economic impact. It is essential to reduce waste and use materials with a lower environmental impact that require less energy.

Graphene will allow us to have products and applications for industrial and/or commercial use with organisational models aimed at the transition to the circular economy.

The characteristics of graphene fully represent the principles of Galilei and the New Blue Economy which are inspired by a master who has more than 4.5 billion years of experience: the fundamental laws of Nature.
